What about Jack? Which Jack is Dirk looking for? A1? B1? B2? Surely he's not looking for A2's Jack.

And why don't you worry about HOW this Dirk knows about those Jacks. He might know that there is B2 Jack, but he shouldn't really know the others.

I'm just sorta waiting for the thread to close now, so we can go back to talking about Homestuck.

You know, if you spent less time bitching about how we don't talk about Homestuck and spent more time getting the conversation back to Homestuck people might be more willing to comply.

1. A Prophet. (mspa prophet sort of counts.)
2. A Revelation. (Sburb bringing about the end of the world)
3. A supreme leader as mortal as any man who promises to lead us to...something. (Hussie)
4. We're relatively few and obscure.
5. Some of us are bat-shit crazy.
6. We have hundreds of occult symbols (Aspect symbols, Troll zodiacs, Kid symbols, card suits, ect.)
7. We have a story almost as long as any halfway decent religious text.
8. A Genesis (The whole Universe is a frog.)

I need to get through my next 20 posts quickly

INTERESTING CONVERSATION. UM.

Yesterday's update prompted me to link a friend of mine to the nic cage song. He already has an ironic fondness for Mr Cage.
Even of it doesn't help convince him to read Homestuck, at least I can make jokes about THE PLAN now.

Homestuck almost makes me like Nic Cage.
Almost.
"The plan" jokes are best.

Post counts are like cup sizes: those with smaller ones feel inadequate and wish they were larger, while those with large ones feel that people don't look past the size and see them for who they are.

Yes, 14-year-old movie quotes are an excellent way to entice someone towards Homestuck

Is the whole Nic Cage song used in Alterniabound at Vriska's shrine? Or does it just loop a short section? or is this something I'm going to have to check for myself

Re: Sanguine Condensation Appreciation Station

You know, if you spent less time bitching about how we don't talk about Homestuck and spent more time getting the conversation back to Homestuck people might be more willing to comply.

Just food for thought.

I'd hardly call that food. What you've given me is the half-chewed upon remnants of a long since discarded meal.

I have indeed thought about that. And I don't appreciate your blatant quote "fixing". You seem to have deleted the entire portion of my post dedicated to "getting the conversation back to homestuck," and what's worse is that you don't appear to want to contribute anything yourself. Perhaps, since you seem to have everybody discussing whatever you like to talk about, you might actually pay attention to or at the very least acknowledge the attempts that I have made to find a topic more appealing to people here?

Yes, I'm aware of the annoyance I cause by not enjoying the wild and off-topic conversations that seem to plague this thread. Plague. Sue me if that's too harsh. I'd much rather talk about Homestuck in the Comic Discussion thread, and I'm sure I've said that enough times by now. I'm not trying to be a pest or a bother, I'm just trying to discuss the comic and the most recent potato in the place where it is appropriate to talk about that. I'm not trying to mock your topic of choice here, and I'm not telling you to stop talking about it. I do truly hope you can carry on this discussion. Surely, there is a correct place to discuss dreams and Mario games. It's not here.

Don't worry, I've appreciated your food for thought as long as I could. That said, I appreciated it for as long as it takes a person to read one sentence. Almost comparable to the amount of time it takes somebody to realize there's a surprising topping on their pizza that is black, has wings, and is so very dead.

It's a classification system. The first digit represents the universe, and the second represents the "instance" or, as some people believe, the timeline.

Think of the recently released albums. Universe A is the trolls' universe. I suspect it was named A because it's the earliest universe we look at. We probably won't see the universe that came before A, but it does exist.
Universe B is the kids' universe. There's no reason why it's called B, just that it came after universe A. That's all.

Then, the number could either represent the 'instance' of the universe, or the timeline. So, for B1. You could say that it's the first timeline/instance of the B universe. It's the first because, as far as we know, it's the original unaltered timeline. You could call it an instance though. Basically, what separates B1 from B2 is the Scratch. If you think of them as timelines, B1 and B2 are identical up to a specific point. Before the timelines diverge, it is simply the B universe. Some people would rather call them "Universal instances", however, because we really don't know how much of an effect the Scratch had on Universe B.

When referring to specific characters, it's easier to use this classification system than it is to assign a name to every version of every character. Dave's brother can either be called "Bro" or "B1 Dirk". Dirk's brother, similarly, can be called B2 Dave or... whatever people have begun calling him. It works with most characters, as long as you remember to say "A_" when talking about trolls. A1 Mindfang is the same character as Aranea, while A1 Vriska is most certainly not the same as A2 Vriska.

I think people should use this system and spread it around for more people to use, because it honestly gets crazy when people try to differentiate between characters by saying "Alpha" or "Beta". Absolutely impossible.

One thing I dislike about Win7 is that you can't change between windows as fluently. Is there a setting or something that disables automatic bunching of windows into one icon? I want to be able to change windows in one click. I don't want to have to click the Chrome icon and then select the individual window icon. It would make multitasking so bloody hard for me.

Ah. This is where I betray the newness of my interest in software (~6 months). As opposed to my interest in hardware (~6 years)

Hmm. Yeah. I dunno, bro. As long as Win 7 is as easily navigable as XP, I'll be happy with it.

Blindness sneers at him
Callousness will spare not a moment
His blood by loneliness made dim

Kanaya:

On sunny sands she walks, while others in darkness sleep.
Caring soul, ancestor to a generation that will never be born.
Care is met with cruelty, dealt by the spider’s sting,
Her love is repaid with indifference, pricks like the sharpest thorn.

Amphibian progeny she raises, watched by a warrior filled with pride
Haste her child will doom, the warrior demands it still, she obeys.
A universe is born only to die again.
Her love is repaid by stillbirth; her child will never see the light of day.

Fleeing from bladed death, her last hope has yet to hatch,
She shows compassion to a wounded soul, giving it a goal.
That hope is a devil in sheep’s skin, and burns all others.
Her love is repaid with treason, and in her heart a hole.

With vengeance she rises again, less and more than she was.
The devil is cleaved by a sword of teeth. It gives her no peace.
Now she searches for a space to call her own.
Her love is waiting for a balm that the pain will cease.

He is without equal, brain like a storm
Hateful and wretched, worthless worm
Wisdom and knowledge, power unknown
Ignorant fool, his fate does bemoan
Fierce is his mind, fierce his heart too
Cowardly maggot of red and blue

She was his best friend, she could have been more
He fired and fired, left nothing but gore
He saved her life, she kissed him and smiled
Shot through the chest, while he choked on bile
He did what he could, it wasn’t his fault
He failed like always, her death couldn’t halt

Blackness unfolds him, no more red and blue
Duality vanished, the dying shouts are gone
Peace at last, a final dark dawn.
Tranquility in emptiness
Rest in the void
Clarity in blindness
Unity in death.

Scratch Hussie is so awesome and popular that his last update made the entire internet crash for a period of 48 hours.

Society almost collapsed as a result.

Wait. How is that any different from our Hussie. I'm not getting it.

He was able to do this with a regular, non-flash-animated update.

I think. My sources may or may not be reliable on this.

This is just kind of silly.

are you implying those three callbacks arent deliberate as all fuck? the question is "is andrew screwing with us or does this mean something".

your references seem to imply that UU is LE, as Jake is specifically asking for UU's name.

if UU is LE,
